    RKA intends to come, unless truck breakdown requires his attention
  2. MACKAZ
    Yeah. Count me as attendance. No +1

    Today I removed the intake manifold as its $1 reserve on trademe. Thanks to @bigfoot (who procured manifold @chris r spied at pick a part) EA tbi manifold is steam cleaned and ready for modification to fit the 4bbl Holley. Trademe auction for the 3.3/auto, twincarb setup and various parts are generating watchers so hopefully they sell. I've got a remanufactured distributor on my watchlist on ebay oz. If anyone would be prepared to school me up on getting stuff out of RockAuto and not getting stung megabucks on freight I would much appreciate it. I also built a engine trolley today so I can move motors whatever around. I'll put the 3.3 on it tomorrow. Edit. Sold the shitbox 3.3 for $250. Jerk also took bought the 4 speed I had as well. Fucking wanker has just paid for it 6 weeks later

    Got bargain today. EL lightweight flywheel, clutch and pressure plate. $50 off workmate, his stockcar spare one. I'll have to buy bolts and a spigot bearing. Now I will HAVE to yank it out of the chassis and separate engine and box to get thread pitch.

    Went down and have hacked out the old mounts as good as I can with engine in place. Need to get the 202/auto combo sold so I can plonk the 4.0l on the ground. I've only got so much room

    @cletusThanks mate. I'm picking I will go with a 3mm reinforcing plate (if thick enough) then use a mount similar to pictured above. Sound above board? Reason I'm asking here is our certifier up here is super unhelpful. Just a dick to deal with..... More interested in truck trailers and towbars

    @cletus @KKtrips I heard/read/dreamt that engine mounts attached to chassis require a plate welded to chassis (larger that actual mount) then mount welded to that. Did I actually dream that? If so how thick does the plate need to be, and recommendation of wall thickness for the actual mount? With the Ford's mounts being further back than the Holden the mounts will be where the chassis bends, so will need to be made of formed plate. Or can I use a large round mount like so and have a flat plate mount

    I've only got my shite Huawei and an ipad. I've sorta got it there but not "tidy" like others I'm seen. I don't see signatures on my phone
  9. MACKAZ
    Can someone tidy my sig up, or tell me how to fix it. Technologically challenged....Exactly why I told MITO to shove their online joke of an apprenticeship
  10. MACKAZ
    Roger that. I'll see if I can fix it
  11. MACKAZ
    Hell no. This replacement is simple, easily fixed, easily replaced if it pops, and it probably will. Makes same power standard than a $5000 red motor. This thing gonna get thrashed, mercilessly, and I wont/don't care what others think. The USA crew love it
  12. MACKAZ
    It's, umm, substantially bigger. Dropped it in the hole, jumped the gun a bit. Needs to go back another 150mm, but need to remove old mounts as the oil filter fouls on them. I'll need to fit a Z700 (Cortina) oil filter for more room. Tunnel appears to have enough clearance. Much better than that other engine

    Knock off work early today as very slow. Thought I'd spend day with wife. She suggested giving me a hand to remove the Holden. Very surprised by that. Next thing shits getting real and it's out
  15. MACKAZ
    Yep. Had a EL in my one. Plenty of life after 6000rpm, something a 3.8 hasn't got
  16. MACKAZ
    Glad you approve Sir. For time being I will get it running carbed. Will attempt the turbo at a later date
  17. MACKAZ
    Quick swap over this morning. Hasn't got a flywheel at the moment, at least I can mock up. Manual setup come out of a dirt car
  18. MACKAZ
    Looking for 2 wire XD dissy, flywheel and maybe an EA vee belt front pulley setup
  19. MACKAZ
    Removed a bunch of junk off engine. Later I'll get the steaming power reducer off the back.
  20. MACKAZ
    I'm going to rip all the useless shit off tomorrow night, put it on marketplace. I also need to move 4.0l, push Buick out, pull holden out, put 4.0l up front of shed, push Buick in and put holden at door end and get that heap sold, along with all my Holden and Valiant shit. Gonna get busy real quick
  21. MACKAZ
    Probably the best option, but this old timer don't do computerisation
  22. MACKAZ
    Wasn't aware 250 Crossflow bolts up?
  23. MACKAZ
    We've never had any luck with XF dissys in stockcars. I'm going to try find an XD 2 wire. I'm gonna cut n shut curly manifold, just because it looks as rough as possible. I'll have to Google what cfm the Holley is, I'm picking its a 600, but I'll soon find out.
  24. MACKAZ
    Bigfoot said it. SOHC 4.0l blow through carb turbo
  25. MACKAZ
    Here it it. 4.0l SOHC Falcon out of a AU3. Done a Derby. $50 Special. Also have a dirty Holley 4bbl and a turbo off something to go along with it. Have manual bellhousing and 3 speed up it's bum.
